Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads

Crosby Parks had the life most guys only dreamed of. A wealthy family, girls vying for his attention, and pro scouts after his hockey skills. But when the life he knows comes crumbling down, he’s sent to Alabama to escape the media storm and to rebuild his life. If Crosby has any shot of playing professional hockey, he must keep a low profile and graduate from college. But the second he steps foot on campus, keeping a low profile becomes impossible. 

Sabrina’s mind is made up. After encouraging Alabama’s star wide receiver to friend-zone her and pursue someone else, she’s determined to focus on herself and stop being everyone’s trusty sidekick and shoulder to cry on. But when she stumbles upon a naked hockey player tied to a tree in the middle of the night, Sabrina’s life is thrown upside down. Because when you leave someone tied to a tree, they eventually get free. 

Review

***I received this book via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review***

I am not having really good luck with reviewing books.

Crosby was a moderately likable character, but Sabrina was hard to like. And I wasn't feeling the enemies-to-lovers chemistry between these two.

I'm a big fan of hockey romances, but this was lacking in the hockey department. Kind of like the author just threw some hockey words in while not knowing a lot about the sport. I just prefer my sports romance a little more detailed because then they feel more real.

Like I said, I did like Crosby as a character. His story felt more interesting and was easier to like. But I would've liked him/his story to be more fleshed out.

There were also a decent amount of unanswered questions/plot holes. A lot of them could have easily been resolved with another 5-10 thousand words.

But looking at the ratings/reviews on GoodReads I seem to be in the minority. There is a lid for every pot.

Thanks for reading!
